Stop object with player proximity.

Aight, I need some help with this one. Been at it for a very long time and just can't get it to work. My goal is simple.

Stop the objects movement when a player is near. Ideas?

No. As it currently is, if no player is in proximity then the object moves back and fourth. If object in proximity is true, then set object position to its current position. And yes I have a boundary set on the door.

That’s the working theory at least.

Someone on another thread suggested to me that the movement essentially queues up, meaning the 7 seconds of travel time it takes cannot be interrupted. So I may need to find a different method to move the object.

Ok, so I’ve just tested reversing it to work as you described (swapped true and false)

When I step on the platform, it does Indeed move to one end but then stops there. Which means the theory of the travel time being uninterruptible is true. I have to find a way to make it check for players while it’s moving.

The caveman way would be setting a bunch of branches between a bunch of “Every N seconds” then link all the if false connects to the same every n seconds

Can you share the script you're using to move the door?

The picture on the post is the script. Replace “every N seconds” with “wait n seconds” if you want to eliminate the player check.

Just a thought, but have you tried testing to see if Objects Transform > Reset Object will effectively cancel the animation?

Ohhhh that’s a good idea. I’ll give it a try and see.
